SERGIO RUIZ vs. JOSE GARCIA aka JOSE F. GARCIA aka JOSE GRANCISCO GARCIA doing business as JOHN GARCIA PAINT SERVICE, MELANIE A. BERRY AS A SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDER

This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration that was dismissed for two primary reasons. Firstly, the petition was filed untimely, exceeding the statutory 25-day limit for filing after the WCJ's decision. Secondly, the petition failed to meet procedural requirements by not providing specific citations to the record or detailing the grounds for reconsideration, as mandated by relevant Labor Code sections and WCAB rules. Consequently, the Appeals Board lacked jurisdiction to consider the petition, leading to its dismissal.
